Quoted by Bishop Ireland. The St. Paul
visitors we're highly pleased with our
new home for the orphan boys. A pro-
gramme of entertainment had been pre-
pared by the Sisters in charge and re-
past was served to the visitors.
Bishop Ireland delivered pleasing
address, complimented the Minneapolis

nifcent ediice, erected in the cause OF
charity, and said the st. Paul diocese
had the most prosperous orphan asy-

ONE of the most striking and, it may
be added, one OF the few pleasant feat
ures of the Anglo-Irish political cam
paign of this year is the presentation to
the women Of Ireland, through the lady
mayoress of Dublin, Mrs. T. ID. Sulli-
van. of an address significant of sympa-
thy and support from the women OF
England, Scotland and Wales. The
address bears the signatures OF $500
ladies, headed by those of Catherine
Gladstone and Jane Golden, daughter
of the renowned repeater. Whether
this unprecedented occurrence has poll
tical Importance or not, the moral infu-
ence of it cannot fail to be great. 1t is
an instrument of reconciliation, some
thing we'll calculated to help put to ali
end to the enstrangement of the two
neighboring peoples.

A Woman's Courage.

Burglars were numerous in East Min
neapolis Monday night. They called
at the residence of Henry Moore, 3O1
Fourth street southeast, and after over
turning almost everything in the house
left without getting anything. At 2
O'Clock Tuesday morning they visited
Capt. of Police Bosworth' g residence and
Mrs. Bosworth, hearing them at the
window, jumped up and ordered them
away. The visitors replied that they
were going into the house, whereupon
she called for her husband, thinking that
would scare them, but they cody re-
piled that they new better, saying
he was on duty, and that they must have
something for their trouble. Mrs. Bos-
worth got her revolver and placed it
close to the window. When they saw it

Convention Of Railroad Brakemen.


The fourth annual convention Of the
Brotherhood of Railroad .Brakemen of
America has been in session at Mime
apolis during::the past week. The ses-
sion was preceded by an enjoyable re-
union, which took place Tuesday after
noon at Minnehaha falls, and was par
ticipated in by large numbers of railroad
men with their families. A special Mil
waukee train took the party to the falls,
and the first half hour was spent in
viewing the beauties of the famous cata-
ract and it's environs. The music of
Savier's band tnen assembled the party,
the exercises beginning with prayer by
Rev. James McGolrick. Bishop Ireland
made very pleasant and encouraging
address, reviewing the advantages Of Or
gapization and urged the brakemen to
leave no stones unturned to improve
their moral and social standing. He es-
pecially applauded and commended that
portion of their constitution prohibiting
the use of intoxicating beverages. A
very large majority of the boys were
found to be Catholics, and they enjoyed
the address of Bishop Ireland to the
fullest extent, and both the good Bishop
and Father McGolrick were much
pleased for the pleasure of meeting so
many of the sturdy brakemen.

OUR valued contemporary, the Reg
lister trains its guns on us in the last
issue for speaking against the bill re-
Gently introduced and passed by our
state legislature giving women the
right of municipal suffrage. The Reg
izter very mildly intimates that it IA
vors the bill. But just why is not
clear. The only reason we can imagine
is the well known and pre-eminent
chivalry of the editor. In fact the
editor of the Register is not like Saint
Paul born in due season" but one
born at least five hundred years too
late. He should have been one of the
crusaders like Ivanhoe, and returning
faced death in the tournament to crown
some fair Rowena queen of love and
chivalry. Ali brother Chapman this is
a plodding, prosaie age, little suited to
your knightly spirit, an age of cold rea-
son and notimpassioned sentiments, an
age that will say if women become our
lawmakers they must also become ex-
ecutors of the law, if women should
enact a law making murder punishable
with death. then they ought not to
object if one of their number be called
on to pull the black cap over the
culprit's face and spring the trap that
hurls him into eternity. They will
also insist that if women are permitted
to go to congress and by their votes
levy war against another government
they should not object when called on
to help sustain the war. And more
over there are thousands who believe
that "the hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world" and they also believe
that hand is far more potent at the
cradle than it could ever be at the
ballot box. Indeed there be many
who believe that woman's kingdom is
higher than the slough of politics. IF
to believe this is criminal then we plead
guilty. Concerning this bill recently
passed we have said but little. It
amounts to very little any way, except
that it is one step forward toward

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND vetoed the

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND vetoed the
dependent pension bill, recently passed
by congress. His message to congress
sets forth in clear. strong English his
reasons for disappearing the bill. No
doubt there are thousands Of good
democrats who will doubt the wisdom
of this veto; but we believe that no
democrat or republican will doubt his
candor in 80 doing. Our readers are
doubtless familiar with the provisions
of the Bill, and any extended discussion
here would be superfuous. But it
seems to us that the bill in some of its
provisions was exceedingly unfair.
For instance, 1t seems to US unjust that
those who served only three months at
the close OF the war, when all the
bloody battles had been fought, and
all the hard marches made, should be
placed on an equality with those who
braved the perils of four long and
bloody years.

A novel ice boat has been invented
which ought to be of service to polar
expeditions. The object of its construc
ton, however, is far more practical
and useful. 1t is for the Michigan Cen.
trail railroad, and is to have capac-
ity of thirty cars, TO run across the
straits of Mackinaw. It will be ofpeculi.
ar construction, designed especially to
overcome the hitherto insurmounG-
able obstacles that have been en-
countered in the straits of Mackinaw
in midwinter. BY an ingenious exped.
lent the new boat breaks its own way
through an ice foe by immense screws
at either end. It is estimated that und.
er the most adverse circumstances the
boat will be able to make the passage
in one day, where trip of nine days
has been not uncommon in bad times
heretofore.

A citizen of Pocahontas, Ia, has
invented new fuel, which bids fair
to take to take the place of coal in the
prairie countries. He grinds corn
stalks and coarse prairie grass together
and moistens them. This pulp is
pressed into blocks about twelve inches
long and four inches thick and dried.
One block will give an hours steady
heat. This fuel can be produced for
50 ton, and the inventor claims that
it will LAST twice as long as the best
soft coal.
